>>34361273The first 3 exist to counter their high BSTs. Slaking and Regigigas have the same as Kyogre and Groudon and they're obviously not meant to be on par with them in lore nor competitive. Archeops has a "higher than Arcanine" BST for the sake of matching its National Dex # and Dewey Decimal # for feathered dinosaurs.
Instead of getting rid of these abilities and ruining the unique flavor, just adjust them. Something like
>Truant has a chance of activating every other turn; this chance increases with lower HP and if Slaking is suffering from a status condition>Defeatist activates at 25% HP>Slow Start is only first 3 turns (to match the Regi Trio) and the Attack/Speed slowly rise after each turn rather than all at once>Emergency Exit now activates after Golisopod has acted in that turn; it also activates every 25%, allowing 4 First Impressions in a single battle
